Pecha Kucha plan-5

Our inquiry question is that can people be truly altruistic. To reflect the topic in the video pecha kucha, our group is planning to support Vancouver Sun Children Funds by donating items such as necessities (clothes, food, et cetera) and books. We are going to go from door to door asking for residents' donation. We will start collecting items this Saturday and actually start handing out our collection to the needy. To do this, thorough planning will be necessary. We will have to find out who and what school needs help, listen to their current situation and find out exactly what donations are most necessary to improve their lives. The influence of our charity activity might be very small, but as I said in the last pecha kucha, I think that as long as we do something to help others without expecting rewards, it is worth doing it, even if the action is very trivial. And then we can try bigger charity projects later.

  1. Hmm...I don't think people can be truly altruistic. From giving help to others and volunteering, people get the joy and feel useful in their societies. Those are, if you think about it, actions done to satisfy themselves, not being truly altruistic. So, I don't believe in altruism.
